Any experiences with it? I am 99% at buying one. I realized we just read a book for class, that I bought, that was available for the Sony reader for half the price! lol. Not like this method would save me money, but I would have loved to use this for that. I wish Staples carried it because I have a $100 gift card! The sync software is reasonable and I don't think horrible. I think they charge so much because they put some serious programming work into the product--adding lots of support for various file types (even music) and a nice store for buying.
They are including $50 in any type of book now and $100 for classics. That's pretty neat. I'm surprised they only included 64 Mb but then I read you can add SD or MS cards! I have 128-1 GB cards laying around I could use.

Like usual...I'm too impatient. I ordered one. I hope it ships Thursday but they are estimating Friday. Then, if it's close, I might get it reasonably quickly. I'm looking forward to it but am hoping they keep expanding the Sony CONNECT book store because even with 13,000 books, I rarely find a book I search for (lol!)
I will read the stuff I know I like and then start trying new material. They also should have customer reviews for books! By the way, the software is free and actually a decent photo viewer, music player. The funny thing is that it shows your hard drive letters and if you open one, select a folder, etc., it loads the directory structure (just one folder level) and you can search it instantly. Simple but it is pretty nifty.
